"Mr President, the Commission recently presented a communication to the Council, to the European Parliament and to the Economic and Social Committee, on the theme “Victims of crime in the European Union – a reflection on standards and measures to be adopted”.
In this text, the Commission puts forward ideas for a debate on standards for treating victims of crime in the European Union. One of the fundamental ideas in the Commission’s communication is precisely the ratification by all Member States of the Convention of the 1983 Council of Europe, and I am able to inform you, Mr Cushnahan, that this convention has been ratified by Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Sweden.
Some Member States have already signed this convention but have not yet concluded the ratification process in accordance with their own laws. This is the case of Belgium, Greece, and Portugal. Finally, four Member States have not yet signed the convention. They are Austria, Spain, Ireland and Italy.
Before the presentation of any proposal for specific action in this area, on the basis of the communication I have mentioned, the Commission invited the Member States, at Council level, and the European Parliament to state their observations on the points addressed in the communication on protection for victims of crime. I can tell you that this communication, made at the Council of Ministers of Justice and Internal Affairs of 4 October, was received very positively.
The Commission awaits the opinions of Parliament and the Member States in order to develop further proposals for action to implement the objectives of the communication to which I have just referred."@en1
